McConnell calls voters home to Labour Print E-mail
Wednesday, 02 May 2007

Labour leader Jack McConnell has urged voters to “come home to Labour” ahead of the elections to the Scottish Parliament tomorrow.

McConnell appealed to Labour supporters to turn out and vote, as two opinion polls showed that the SNP’s poll lead over Labour was narrowing. A Populus poll for the Times showed that the SNP has a four point lead over Labour in the constituency vote, with a subsequent outcome in Holyrood of 45 seats for the SNP and Labour on 43.

Another poll for the Scotsman by ICM has the SNP ahead by 2 per cent on the constituency vote and 1 per cent on the regional vote, which would leave one seat between them; 43 versus 42 in the SNP’s favour. The Labour party estimates that around 20 per cent of likely voters have still to decide how to vote, with around half of them having supported Labour in the past.

McConnell said: "It is now clear that this election will go right to the wire and every single vote will count. As many people decide how to vote, I urge them to put their children's future and their family first by voting for education with Labour.

"The risk to Scotland and the cost to families are too great for people to let the SNP win. I don't want people to wake up on Friday wishing that they voted Labour and having to live with the consequences of the SNP and their plans for separation."

He added: "To put Scotland first, we must put education first. To put your family first, you must put Labour first. The risk is so great in this election and families have so much to lose that people should come home to Labour."
